How I did it: I kinda cannot believe I've done it! It's been years of wishing and months of working on it. It's been a great journey towards changing my thoughts, so better me. It's been a dream coming true step by step. It's been a hard work for 6 months but when I look back now, it seems a piece of cake.

Lessons & tips: Buying land is a bit like buying yourself a pair of jeans. You need to

Define your goal:

• Know what you want.
• Know how much you can afford.
• Best: know when you want it.

Proceed:

• Check many offers, as many as possible. (special property tip: Check offers that seem uninteresting at first glance, too.)
• Choose the one you like.
• Gather (or have gathered) all the necessary documentation
• Pay and enjoy it!

I was really fearful at start of the process. Only because I was going to do it for the first time. The moment I thought: this is just like buying yourself anything else (maybe the procedure was different but the whole thing was about buying, wasn't it?!), I started to get offers and I was able to move on.
